Propelled into puberty

[firecat]

These things kick-started me into puberty:

"Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin
"Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

Did any books or music kick-start you into puberty? Did anything else?

I'm not sure? I struggle with the term kickstarting because my past is mostly a blur and I "forgot" a lot about my puberty... though of course I had a crush on the Goblin King too *g* and... and I think there was a certain scene in A-ha's Take On Me video where Morten Harket gets slapped and pushed around a lot by unseen forces while he's sweaty and in peril, and afterwards he looks at the video's protagonist with the sweetest smile, which my little proto-sadist self subconsciously interpreted as "I got hurt [by you] and really liked it!" so I promptly fell in love.
A huge teenage influence, however (I was 17 or so?) was Poppy Brite's "Lost Souls" - there were vampires, and they were GAY, and they had SEX.
